Cementation
Sedimentary rock formation begins with igneous, metamorphic, or other sedimentary rocks. When these rocks are exposed at the earth's surface they begin the long slow but relentless process of becoming sedimentary rock.
Melting.
Clastic sediments are sediments that have particles or pieces of rock (clasts) in them. The clasts can be of igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary rock. Non-clastic sediments are made up of dissolved minerals or organic matter.
The two major processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rock include deposition (in which sedimentary material is deposited in an area) and cementation (in which that material becomes glued together overtime).

Cementation
A major process in the formation of clastic sedimentary rock is lithification, which involves the compaction and cementation of loose sediment particles. These particles are typically derived from the weathering and erosion of pre-existing rocks. Over time, the layers of compacted sediment become solidified into rock through the process of lithification.

Volcanism is not a major process in the formation of sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and lithification of sediments, which are primarily derived from the weathering and erosion of pre-existing rocks. Volcanism, on the other hand, is associated with the formation of igneous rocks through the cooling and solidification of magma.
Clastic sedimentary rocks: Formed from the accumulation of mineral and rock fragments that are cemented together. Chemical sedimentary rocks: Formed from precipitation of minerals dissolved in water. Organic sedimentary rocks: Formed from the accumulation of organic material, such as plants or animals.

Scientists have identified three major rock formation systems, which are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Each system represents a different process by which rocks are formed and transformed in the Earth's crust.
